They actually haven't had a permanent anchor for the 11AM since Renee ummm..."left". Since then though they've really grown their talent pool and I think it's safe to say they now have the largest news team in the market. With that in mind, why wouldn't you want to have variety at the anchor desk every newscast?

So I think it's safe to say they brought Lucy in to free Vai up to co-anchor the 11AM with Rosemary. It wouldn't shock me if they bring someone on eventually to co-anchor the weekend evenings with Denise as it seems to be their goal to have two anchors for every newscast now.

NHL Network just simulcasts local broadcast feeds these days complete with graphics and announcers.

You should see the things settle now that they've moved. The last month and a half theyvth been rehearsing and a lot of those times were during newscasts.

Vai anchored the 2nd half of the morning show with Tracy as well.

LOL. 4th place news org in the city hires another anchor that probably won't last that long here either cause the station's management can't get out of its own way? Not even close. I will give them credit for going to a respectable operation to find her though. They should also look at WJZ to figure out how to put out a decent news product.

Also yes. Old font was Univers Extended like the now absent NBC lettering.

Nah it's Gotham.

Hopefully it means more Premier League matches on TV.

I maintain that that was going to be FOX's new look til they saw how it actually looked and behaved on air and then they chucked it mid broadcast. The fact that they half assed modded the old scoreboard just showed they had their doubts about in rehearsals. They began reverting different inserts back to the former look as early as mid way through the 1st quarter and any sign of that package was gone by the end of the game.

Stephania has been anchoring for a few weeks now. I think Rosemary hasn't done full time on the 11AM as of yet it that they've been having her fill in in the mornings as well and it's clear they don't want anyone anchoring all four of those hours of they can help it.

I'm gonna bet it's for KYW.

I liked The 'Lights as well. Sports Dash was also a good show as well even though David Briggs was terrible as an anchor. If they bright that back with better talent and promotion it would be successful.

Looks like the RSNs have a new look for their Pre/Post Game shows as well

I wonder what the plan is here. It says she'll be anchoring on 10 from 4-5:30AM and then Telemundo's morning show. Is Tracy cutting back or are they going with 3 anchors for the first half of the show?

NFL Live has new insert graphics and a top of the screen banner rundown.

I'm sure both she and Michelle Beadle will be clucking away on The View in no time.

Following NCFLMedia's lead, I made a thread for NBC Sports and its many properties following their announcement this week of them revamping their NHL coverage for this upcoming season. http://nbcsportsgrouppressbox.com/2018/08/13/nbc-sports-scheduled-to-air-record-109-games-during-2018-19-nhl-regular-season/ Good bye Wednesday Night Rivalry, hello Wednesday Night Hockey. Finally gone are the match ups between contrived rivals (since when did Tampa become a rival to Chicago?) and most match ups being between teams east of the Mississippi. Wednesday Night Hockey brings a doubleheader most weeks and more varied match ups to promote the NHL stars. Looking through the rest of the schedule, it looks like a lot of the non-Wednesday games during the week will be side-by-side productions by NBC RSNs (lots of Blackhawks, Flyers, Capitals and Sharks games on the schedule). Genius as a cost saving move by NBC but kinda flies in the face of the whole "more varied matchups" mantra that they're trying to promote.

For the purpose it serves, the show is fine. It's never going to compete with 6 or 10 nor do I think that's their intention. They wanted a feature rich show that covers the headlines and weather and the rest of the show, long form C and D block material. I'm sure they'd be perfectly content with beating Judge Judy by the February book.

Stephanie Stahl has done two full health reports these past two days so if they're gonna have health segment on the show everyday you might as well count her in.

7 if you count Jessica's pop-in in the 2nd half hour for a headlines read.

I'm pretty sure that distinction belongs to Jim Gardner (who as we speak is on vacation lol).

Alicia could have other things during the Noon that keep her from always filling in for a full newscast during an absence. Doing VOs for features on the 4PM and packages for FYI Philly come to mind. That said, it does seem like she's the first off the bench if Rick or Sarah are off. Having one of the morning anchors stay on to fill in seems to be a last resort if Rick, Sarah and Alicia are all off.

No?

Came across what could be WCAU's future set in the Comcast Technology Center: http://kris-cerola.com/#/broadcastdesign/ I'd like to see what the finished product would look like but it looks pretty nice (I'll even forgive them for using the Pittsburgh skyline in the video wall shot).
